Blog update - Where have I been?

Greetings and Nailutations!
Where have I been? 


First I want to apologize for the lack of posts over the last 2 months.  I should have given more insight to what was going on in my life.

One of the perks at my day time job is a "sabbatical" - 8 full weeks (paid) off after working 7 years (and this is in addition to our usually 3-4 weeks of vacation).  We had 2 people of our 10 person team take theirs at the same time over the summer.  Our company also just went through some head count reductions and we lost 2 people.  We had to make adjustments with the remaining 6 people for 2 months to balance the work load.  Tomorrow I will be handing off some responsibilities to another person and won't have to take work home (as often).  WOO HOO!  Celebrate the victories!

I will be getting back into regularly posting and I have a few collections to share over the next week as well as some nail art products to review.

In the meantime, I shall leave you with my June and July mani favorites!



Thanks for sticking around!

    1. HAHA - yah, we had safety news letter go out requesting that managers NOT allow people to take long vacations at the same time. The funny thing is that last year our boss requested that myself and another guy stagger ours and we did (we both had our 8 week). Things that make you go hmmmm....
